I feel so badly for Fletcher, he’s been f*cked by that little $hitstain AG Stumbo, whose sole mission was to destroy his administration over allegations that wouldn’t get 5 seconds of airtime in the media if it had been a rodent (wanting party loyalists in positions of trust ! Oh, the humanity ! What bull$hit).
For anyone that doesn’t think electing Republicans to important statewide offices like AG and Sec of State, this ought to be a sobering wake-up call. With a GOP AG in KY, Fletcher would be easily coasting to a 2nd term right now, it’s that simple. If we lose the Governorship, let’s hope we take the AG’s open seat and repay the rodent in kind with what Stumbo did to Dr. Fletcher. Fair’s fair.
Some of what Fletcher did was of his own doing, however. He has terrible PR. Moreover, when Secretary of State Trey Grayson merely hinted he might run for governor, Fletcher launched a barrage of personal attacks publicly against Grayson and then calls were made to Grayson’s friends’ employers by Fletcher’s people trying to cause problems for them in their jobs - because they were hosting a fundraiser for Grayson at their home for his re-election as Secretary of State. Senator McConnell and a number of others showed up at the fundraiser to show support for Grayson in response to that outrageous conduct. While I still believe the Stumbo stuff was a witch hunt, it did place a bit of doubt in my mind after what Fletcher did to Grayson - as Fletcher demonstrated he was more than capable of doing what Stumbo accused him of based on what I know was done to Grayson.
